Steampunk fans, and gamers of all stripes, will want to keep their eyes open for the latest title coming soon from Fireside Games: Dastardly Dirigibles. In what appears to be a suit collecting card game of airship building, up to five players compete to complete their dirigibles using as many cards from one suit as possible. The game arrives this July and will carry an MSRP of $19.95.
From Fireside:
Professor Phineas Edmund Hornswoggle, famed airship builder, is retiring and you are an engineer competing to inherit the Hornswoggle factory!
Build your airship from different parts of 9 beautiful suits. Each time a part is added, ALL players MUST add the SAME part–which may replace an existing one.
Use Special cards to your advantage or to thwart your opponents. The round ends when the first airship is complete. But you score only the suit used most in your airship. The player with the highest score after 3 rounds wins!
